My Tilly Twister Has Arrived!

[Retrochic]

Got my 'Tilly Twister' today from Amazon must say its great value for money and have tried it out you can really feel it working your core. 5 mins in the morning 5 mins in the evening and hopefully in a couple of months my waist will be back to 29'' and my hips to 36'' :-)

i have one too !! great fun !

Just finished my evening twist.

It seems to be working better on my hips than my waist. Perhaps the flab around the waist is harder to shift.

Retro - I was looking at your twister - I imagine since there is nothing to "hold" onto I would fall off.

Would love these tiny trampoline with handles - somebody on here posted about them. Anyway do you easily fall off

Get yourself an Hula Hoop for the waist, Yilly !

Thats right, jj. But that is where the exercise come in.

[Tilly2]

Yont. I have tried a hoola hoop. I can't make it stay up anymore. That was a childhood skill. Besides which, I don't want to do my back in!

[Tilly2]

Thanks for posting the link, Mamya. It's gone down in price since I got mine.

[stuey]

Retrochic, you like things vintage/retro. Here is a nice wireless for you to exercise by:) http://i57.tinypic.com/aovsw3.jpg

[tonyav]

Yes there is a skill to Hula Hooping.

[roopower]

Thank you Mamyalynne

[stuey]

You could twist away whilst listening to "Housewives' Choice".

[Tilly2]

Oh, I spelled Hula, wrongly. Tut.

[jno]

any reason the twister doesn't do your back in?

[SlackAlice]

I've got one now as well, not lost my balance yet!!

Some suitable music helps.

Jno, I think the difference with the twister is that you start with small movements, and as you become more supple, you can extend the twists.

[Retrochic]

to answer a few questions jenny -its quite small and my size 5 feet just about fit it .OH had a go but couldn't keep his balance (his excuse I think) You can do it sitting down which may bean option if you think you might fall off it. Thanks for the link stuey , I'm timing it on my iPhone and twisting along to 'lets twist again like we did last summer ' Great Fun! I think it may strengthen your back as I have the occasional back problem and the doc said if I strengthen my core it will help. Its so convenient and small you can just leave it in the bathroom or under a chair. Thanks Tilly!

[Tilly2]

You are welcome. Retro. I hope it works for you.

Mr T has problems with it too. He hangs on to the bedpost and twists. He says it different for me because I'm a dancer! It's still works for him though.
